Black Hole Superette, the latest album from Aesop Rock, delves into the invisible forces that shape our lives and psyches. It’s about the small, often overlooked moments—the everyday experiences that blur the lines between the real and the unreal, waking and sleeping. Aesop Rock’s signature gift for transforming the mundane into something dreamlike gives the album a surreal quality, leaving listeners questioning what’s truly real as they navigate its vivid, half-remembered imagery.

Entirely self-produced, Black Hole Superette is one of Aesop Rock’s most technically accomplished works to date. The album’s intricate beats and complex structures provide the perfect backdrop for his expansive lyricism, balancing cerebral exploration with emotional depth. From the reflective 'Movie Night' and the eccentric 'Send Help' to the wistful 'Black Plums,' Aes channels the spirit of a mad scientist, experimenting with sound and concept in ways that defy the ordinary.

With a stellar lineup of collaborators that includes Lupe Fiasco, Armand Hammer, Hanni El Khatib, Open Mike Eagle and Homeboy Sandman, Black Hole Superette is dense and kinetic, an album that deftly navigates between complexity and instinct. It’s clear this project stands as one of Aesop Rock’s most multifaceted and ambitious works yet.

Keys by Asher Fulero

LYRICS:

Ok, fuck all that bullshit though

I'm picky, I only open books that glow

Whodunnits and cozy mysteries, who stole the crypt keys

Who showed the minions to the minced meat, it was me

Hut hut, helmet off, blitz the whole bitstream

Override the A/V in, with A/V out the in-between

IV in, 1 of Epi, 1 of Ralph Steadman

Phoebe Judge, EPMD, the Amazing Kreskin

His bag is a braided bread, in the oven for 30 days

It's never the same twice, it's always a perfect bake

It's purple prose when you're looking for just the facts

You wanna know where I been, some other where nothing's mapped

Lost at the Waldbaums

faded facing 30-thousand square feet of wrong aisle, Long Isle

strong man, roll up in a Pontiac siege tower

Fire an arrow 45 degrees down

Accounting for the breeze

I can do that shit where you nock two arrows at once and shoot to counter separate things

I can hit a moving target from a moving target

It's a rabbit from an equine, it's an ET from a starship

The stoicism only misdirection for the metrics

It doesn't represent the actual pressure through the plexus

Or that maybe why I'm terrible with names is cause I'm special

At memorizing the exits during those same seconds

I jumped into a volcano

Climbed up, only to say my today is not on no today show

All recorded history is forfeit to the fuego

It's infinite present tense, presently on some next

Referencing something ancient that play to current events

In a way that feels just too flagrant to've occurred by itself

I know that sound absurd as all hell

I don't even know what I'm saying for certain, surely it's "help", uhhhh help?

Same bat-time, same bat-channel

Same flatline, same plaid flannel

Same bad gamble, same graf name on the ax handle

Brand new taxidermied mammal on the mantle

Man, man, I ain't sneaking by the sleeping bear

I mean, if you ain't down to let it eat you, why you even here?

Pigeon on my shoulder like a goth Rio

The putdown Picasso here to un-massage the ego

I'm friend or foe depending on the content in your keynote

And not above the lobbing of a rotten tomatillo

Honestly, it's getting hard to watch like paradise for parking lots

Nevermind that parking lots are paradise, the paradox

Oh the places you'll go and exploding aerosols

The running with a boiling beaker in a pair of tongs

Drink a shot of ant and roach, eat a bowl of Cherry Bombs

With peri-peri, no, with chimi-churri sauce

Boyhood drawing b-boys with big sneakers

'Til the shoe fit, now they pouring plaster in the foot print

Take it to the lab, show the cast to the bull pen

All you get is choruses of "I call bullshit"

That’s how a giant flyeth under the radar for so long

Y’all underestimate the day-arc I'm on

The stay dark at dawn, carnival barker, the autumn Barbisol marksman

The can up the arm of his Nautica parka

At large, from playing dig dug at the IHOP

To undead 3-inch-punching a pine box

To, magus of the month, 3 months standing

In more than magenta, yellow, and Cyan Ink

It's a wave, it ebb and it swell

It could celebrate the memory or separate the cells

It could focus on excelling or accentuate the Hell

That's excellent, Can it send help? Cuz uhhhh… help
